he's specifically going after south carolina and texas because they're on that list. eric holder could under section 2 also go after any law that is discriminatory under the voting rights act of 1965. he's not chosen to do that. i guess i'm a little more pessimistic because i think it's hard for the average american because of the way this has been framed as voter fraud. who doesn't want to stand against fraud? because of the way it's been framed by a lot of conservative outlets, i think it's hard to make the case that we shouldn't require i.d. i think it's hard for people to understand that if they have i.d., it doesn't mean everyone can get it. that's the uphill battle.ç it's a political hot potato for president obama to step into this mess. he will face backlash from people who think it's common sense that people should have i.d.s even though 11% of the american public does not. >> well, not everybody in thus country understands how the poor actually lives and how destitute some people can be and want to throw all sorts of restrictions on them. this is a bunch of

>> well, but bill there is idiocy in the court's decision down there in texas. the guy is a nut, he is a bigger fruit cake than the one you get for christmas and if he can't explain it in a way that's cogent and constitutional. then you can file charges of impeachment against him. >> you can impeach pim but i will tell you that's why we have appellate courts. when you get idiot decision or just a wrong one may not be as stupid as that one but a wrong one then you can appeal but there is a process and i think what makes many of us uncomfortable is the idea that instead of going through what is a tedious time-consuming painful process we would just sort of go ahead and rush to the final conclusion and say all right, we are going to yank this guy's chain. just remember in the words of jesus. they that take the sword shall parish with the sword. whatever sword they take is going to be used against us. >> i made this the centerpiece of talking points memo last week. and said you have got to be careful about this stuff. the ninth circuit of appeals in san francisco is

mentioning the redistricting in texas. >> the most recent sen susz data indicated that texas gained 4 million new residents. the vast majority are hispanic and it allows for four new congressional seats. but the state will add zero additional seats. >> pete williams is the justice correspondent. this issue is bubbling and we really haven't seen it addressed from the white house. now the attorney general is jumping into it. that's a big deal. >> he meant zero additional seats where hispanics would have a majority voting opportunity. so here you have an attorney general who is given the toughest line yet from the obama administration on the state changes in voting. you mentioned photo i.d. laws. they are the hot thing right now. and the advocates say it is necessary to prevent in person voter fraud at the polls. opponents say that voter fraud is not that big of a problem. then you have restrictions on early voting and registration at the polls. and the attorney general said this is an attorney general who made civil rights a big priority speaking at the lbj library. it's a dramatic sett

in texas, for a long time, when the democrats were dominant, you saw certain wave of decisions out of the texas supreme court as the republicans began to dominate the political sector, different money went into the judicial races and you have a very different swing. so i don't think that ideology ought to be way swaying the court. >> greta: the new book, "patriot act," covers many topics. as you talk about many issues, do you have any interest in running for office? >> no, been there, done that. it was as large as four gubernatorial races. there is not a lot to say about the elective process, even though the service may be grand. i like having the conversation. but i don't know how much i would like serving in politics. >> greta: myis to see you. you have to come back soon. >> thank you. take care. >> greta: sprat straight ahead, britain's prince harry can't wait -- what is his big news? find out. that's next. better late than never -- or is it? a gift arrives in time for the holidays, but which holidays? a daring robbery caught on camra. but this story ends with a twist. stay tuned.
